The Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders invites all county residents and visitors to gather with veterans and their families at the plaza in front of the Union County Courthouse September 15th.
The ceremony - scheduled to start at 11 a.m. - will honor prisoners of war and those missing in action.
“Though the scars of past wars will never fully heal, I hope that this ceremony provides a measure of comfort and support to those who are seeking answers and closure,” said the Freeholder.
The County Courthouse is located at 2 Broad Street in midtown Elizabeth, with convenient access to train and bus service. Ample public parking is available.
In case of rain, the ceremony will be moved inside to Courthouse Rotunda.
